AS PART-TIME players of the guerrilla gigging game — where bands just turn up, plug in, rock out and clear off — Kasabian have made a habit of performing shows in unexpected places this year, including the supporters’ bar at Leicester City Football Club and Winston Churchill’s Cabinet War Rooms. And yet even the band’s most fervent fans wouldn’t have predicted an appearance at London’s lofty Brixton Academy. Well, not unless it was an impromptu performance on the venue’s front doorstep, anyway.
